Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. at a more leisurely pace.
"Leisure" is a noun, while "leisurely" is an adjective or adverb. Since "pace" (a noun) needs to be described, "leisurely" (an adjective) is the correct word to use.
Hence, the correct sentence is:- "Although uncountable files stack up on the tables of government officials, they prefer doing their work at a more leisurely pace."
